Septembt, -"Thursday, Septen THE BATTALION USA still ahead of Australi SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — Sweet revenge for the U.S. swimmers followed a Dutch treat at the Sydney Games. Jenny Thompson set a women’s record for ca reer swimming gold medals with seven Wednesday, anchoring an American 800-meter freestyle relay that nipped Australia in 7 minutes, 57.80 seconds. Thompson’s performance came minutes after American Misty Hyman shocked world-record holder Susie O’ Neill — another Aussie — in the 200-meter butterfly. The U.S. victories avenged men’s losses to Australian hero lan Thorpe and his teammates, who beat the Americans by a fingertip in the men’s 400 free relay earlier in the week, then blew them out in the 800 free relay. Thompson, who has won all her golds in relays, surpassed the six swimming golds won by Kristin Otto of Germany. The United States was in second place when Thompson jumped in the pool. But she overtook Petria Thomas, pulled away down the stretch and brought the relay home in Olympic record time. Hyman seemed as surprised as the Australian fans that she won. “Oh my God!” she screamed. “Oh my God!” Hyman led from the start and clocked an Olympic record 2:05.88, narrowly missing O’Neill’s world mark. Later, she threw back her head and drank in the moment as she stood on the medal podi um and sang along with the national anthem. The Netherlands also had its flag raised on a magic day for the small European country. Pieter van den Hoogenband won gold in the 100 free, his second of the games, and denied Russian Alexander Popov an unprecedented third straight Olympic title in the event. That is not all the Dutch did Wednesday. The Netherlands stunned Cuba 4-2 in baseball, the first Olympic defeat ever for a Cuban team, and Inge de Bruijn topped it off by breaking her own world record in the semifinals of the women's 100 free. De Bruijn finished in 53.77 seconds and beat Thompson, who will need an amazing race in the 100 free final to win the individual gold she is chased unsuccessfully through three Olympics. The United States and Australia stayed on top of the medal count after competition Wednesday. The Americans led with 23 medals (10 gold, 7 sil ver. 6 bronze) while Australia had 22 (7-8-7). Chi na was third with 17 (6-4-7).

Even after Aikman took a major ity of the snaps with the first team during the Cowboys’ two-hour work out Wednesday, Campo said the quarterback's playing status had not been determined. “It’s an evaluation process. This is no different than last week,” Campo said. “We feel like he’s an experienced quarterback. If he’s ready to go, he'll be our starter and we go from there. 1 think it’s just a case of us at the ap propriate time making a decision.” Aikman did not talk to reporters after practice, a session that was not attended by team owner Jerry Jones. Before practice, Aikman said he had met with team doctors, who told him he was clear to play. “They say it's a decision I can make. I’m feeling good,” Aikman said. “The idea is that I will be play ing this week. I feel like I’m capa ble of doing that, and am looking forward to it.” Aikman has not played since being sacked for the fourth time in the first half of the opening 41-14 loss to Philadel phia on Sept. 3.

It wasn't about how — Emmitt Smith Cowboys running back I felt following those practices,” Aikman said. Aikman has had three concus sions in his last 10 regular-sea son starts, includ ing in consecu tive games last season that forced him to miss two games. He was still having headaches from the latest concussion, but he said Wednes day he was not throughout last week but was held out again against the Redskins. The Cowboys won 27-21, with Cunning having any more concussion-related symptoms. Aikman appeared upbeat after practice, unlike he had last week. - -m While he has been esi ceptible to concussions Aikman insists he has about getting hurt again. “1 wouldn’t play if I going in tentatively.
